Lyrics

I died
And I sighed as the chains of the flesh left me
As the moans and the groans of the friends sent me
On my way to the land of the dead
I flashed
That my soul was unharmed as my earth form I shed
That the image of death had been a thought in my head
And the truth is a spirit am I
I sussed
That my life had been a lesson chosen by me
For to purify my thought that I may be
Worthy to shine forth the light
The light
The light
The light
As I moved ever upward a great light there came
More feeling than seeing and it filled me with shame
Like a bright shining mirror reflecting my being
My present condition of soul I was seeing
I beheld
Forms of great beauty and they shone forth the light
With love vibes they met me and they cast off my fright
Those great souls of ages long past
I praise
The great souls of the ages who care for our needs
They lovingly nurture wisdom's bright seed
Growing the way to the light
I ached
For the womb and the earth and another time around
Seeking circumstances the best that can be found
To give me the lessons to learn
I was born
And through childhood my soul still remembered the light
And through teens I fought fiercely for my vision of the light
When I saw mum and dad had forgot
The light
The light
The light
